Munda Wines was founded by Pauly Vandenbergh and Damien Smith with a vision to present Australian wine through a different lens, one that honours the deep history of the land and its First Nations people.

Their philosophy is to spark conversation, one glass at a time, by expressing the unique munda (land/terroir) of exceptional vineyard sites across Australia. Each wine acknowledges and celebrates the Aboriginal Countries it comes from, such as Kaurna, Ngadjuri, and Peramangk, recognising their cultural and historical significance.

Munda Wines focuses on varieties that are well-suited to their environment, promoting sustainability and harmony with the land. Proudly Supply Nation registered, the winery is a majority Indigenous-owned business dedicated to supporting and growing the Indigenous business community.

In the winery, the approach is minimal intervention, allowing each munda to speak clearly. Wines are matured in second and third-use oak to preserve purity, and bottled relatively early to capture freshness, energy, and brightness.

Basalt and pockets of granite, 750mabove sea level in classic Snowy River Country, a Chardonnay built on altitude vs latitude from two of the highest vineyards in Walgalu. A fine, focused citrus line, light white stone fruits surrounded by subtle French oak (8months) nuances of grilled nuts, toasted muesli and exotic spices. A multi-layered, textural Chardonnay that will reward patience in the cellar, whilst delivering a freshness in its youth that reminds of its extremely rugged climate built on extremes.
